Rafael Nadal falls, Carlos Alcaraz advances at Madrid Open

Rafael Nadal had to pause for a few moments, visibly emotional, while addressing the crowd after his loss in the fourth round at the Madrid Open.

It was likely his last official match at the tournament in the Spanish capital. “This is a difficult day when it arrives, but it’s a reality.

Top-seeded Sinner, Nadal, Swiatek all advance at Madrid Open

Rafael Nadal tore his headband off, thrust his arms in the air, and soaked up the cheers. It was only a second-round victory, but coming from where Nadal had been just a few weeks ago when he couldn’t even get on the court, he could have been savoring a trophy. He had just defeated 11th-ranked Alex de Minaur 7-6 (6), 6-3 at the Madrid Open on Saturday, avenging a straight-set loss to the Australian less than two weeks ago. Nadal is no longer aiming to add to his 92 titles after being decimated by injuries in recent years. The 37-year-old just wants to […]

Rafael Nadal cruises to straight-sets win over American teen

Rafael Nadal couldn’t learn much from his comfortable consecutive-sets victory over American teenager Darwin Blanch in the first round of the Madrid Open. Nadal cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over mistake-prone 16-year-old Blanch on Thursday. “I didn’t test much my body today,” 37-year-old Nadal said. “I played a decent match doing the things that I had to do to be through, but at the same time I played against a player … making more mistakes.” Blanch, playing in only his second ATP tour match, made 27 unforced errors. Nadal never faced a break point and was in control from the start versus […]

Rafael Nadal returns to play with first-round Barcelona win

Taking it easy after months away from competitive tennis, Rafael Nadal was good enough to earn a comfortable first-round victory at the Barcelona Open on Tuesday.

Nadal converted on his second match point to seal the victory over the 21-year-old Italian ranked 62nd in the world. The Spaniard will next face Alex de Minaur, who had a first-round bye. “Taking everything into consideration, it was a good first round,” Nadal said. “I played the kind of match that I […]

Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff advance in Indian Wells

Novak Djokovic made a winning return to the desert, defeating Aleksandar Vukic 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 on Saturday in his first match at the BNP Paribas Open in five years.

In that sense, I think he [Djokovic] has better numbers than mine and that is indisputable,” Nadal said in an interview with AS published Wednesday. […]
